You can add your choice of protein to this recipe or enjoy it just as is. It’s best to use leftover rice, BUT if you really want fried rice NOW, you can still use freshly made rice. That’s actually what I did here. Leftover rice will taste a bit better, though.

When using leftover rice, this takes just 5 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes of cooking. That leaves you time to do whatever else you need to be doing! Like getting in that load of laundry, cleaning your bathrooms or, more likely → watching Peppa Pig with your little monster. Priorities! Enjoy!
